Public Notices/Announcements - Peterborough/Lindsay - Peterborough Astronomical Association Monthly Mtg.
The Peterborough Astronomical Association (PAA) will resume its regular monthly meeting, which takes place on the first Friday of the month, on September 7th, at 7:00 p.m. The meeting location is the Rotary Education Centre/Guest Services Building, Riverview Park Zoo, Peterborough.
The PAA will once again resume “Novice Astronomy Classes”. The classes will introduce you to equipment, software and many other astronomy related subjects. You will get hands on with equipment and learn to use it and other tools of astronomy. You will also learn to locate constellations, stars, planets and other objects in the sky. We will also throw in a self-paced course on Viewing the Moon. Those interested, should be at the above mentioned meeting location by 6:00 p.m. The classes will run about 45 minutes each session, before our regular meetings.
Our presentation for September will start shortly after 7:30 p.m. and features a Skype talk by Dr. Luc Simard, Director of the National Research Council (NRC), Astronomy Technology Program, Hertzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics, Victoria, B.C. The topic is yet TBD, but as a professional astronomer who started as an amateur, he always likes to get back to his roots and talk to the public about astronomically related subjects that are his life’s work and interest. Don’t miss a unique opportunity to hear first hand from one of Canada’s astronomy research specialists.
Following the main presentation(s) we will look at the “Sky This Month”. Be informed about the locations of the planets of the solar system. There will also be the usual opportunities to come and check out the PAA and all it has to offer, at no cost. This is an all ages meeting and the venue is barrier free. Also, you don’t need a telescope to belong, but a curious mind helps.
